The crypto market in early 2026 shows stark volatility, with established assets facing pressure while innovative protocols and presales capture fresh momentum. Altcoins oscillate between support tests and protocol upgrades, reflecting investor caution amid broader uncertainty.

Hyperliquid token leads with its HIP-4 upgrade, introducing risk-free outcome trading and prediction markets after $42 billion in prior volume. Meanwhile, XRP price USD lingers near a two-year low of $1.55 to $1.60, holding critical support backed by $1.19 billion ETF assets and Ripple’s 75+ global licenses.

However, emerging as 2026’s highest potential play is the new crypto Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP). This project blends AI privacy with a scarcity-driven presale targeting $1.7 billion. The presale auctions are spread across 17-stages, already raising $1.77 million in Stage 2, promising 600x upside as daily token burns tighten supply.

Hyperliquid Token Gains 2026 Momentum with HIP-4 

Hyperliquid token’s latest HIP-4 upgrade introduces outcome trading to its ecosystem, enabling fixed-range, fully collateralized contracts that eliminate leverage and liquidation risk. This move expands its derivatives suite by supporting prediction markets and limited-risk options trading. The update follows HIP-3, which helped push platform trading volume to $42 billion, underscoring strong growth.

Developers can now create custom prediction markets using open primitives on HyperCore, all settling in USDH. Hyperliquid token integration with HyperEVM and its permissionless market deployment model adds flexibility for builders. The upgrade further strengthens the Hyperliquid token’s appeal as a leading protocol.

XRP Price USD Hits 2-Year Low Near $1.55 Support

XRP price USD has fallen to around $1.55 to $1.60, its lowest in nearly two years, after peaking at $3.66 in July 2025. This key support zone, once resistance during the November 2024 breakout from $0.50, now determines if the decline deepens to $1.30 to $1.35 or holds. ETF net assets stand at $1.19 billion, with inflows potentially triggering a short-term rebound by absorbing selling pressure.

Ripple’s regulatory wins bolster long-term prospects as the XRP price USD tests this critical area. The new Luxembourg EMI license, plus over 75 global approvals, strengthens business confidence for payments expansion. Holding above $1.55 keeps the bullish structure intact against ongoing market volatility.

ZKP Crypto Auctions Target 600x Potential Through AI Privacy!

Zero Knowledge Proof, or ZKP, is surging as a standout presale in early 2026, fueled by its fusion of AI privacy tech and relentless token scarcity. Analysts project up to 600x returns, backed by a $1.7 billion auction target already showing $1.77 million raised. This Layer-1 blockchain uses zero-knowledge cryptography to secure AI data computations, solving real privacy demands while its deflationary model drives value.

The presale spans a 450-day window across 17 stages, releasing fixed daily tokens via transparent on-chain auctions. Stage 1 offered 11.8 billion tokens at 200 million per day, Stage 2 cuts to 4.75 billion at 190 million, shrinking 80% to just 40 million by Stage 17. Unsold tokens burn daily, permanently tightening supply as demand climbs.

Currently in Stage 2, participants connect wallets for proportional shares at uniform prices, competing harder each round. This engineered scarcity creates compounding pressure, where early entry locks in larger allocations before later squeezes. Self-funded with over $100 million, ZKP prioritizes operational strength over hype.

Over $1.77 million in inflows signal accelerating momentum toward the $1.7 billion goal. Privacy-first AI utility meets explosive market needs, positioning ZKP as a top crypto to buy before supply vanishes. As stages progress through 2027, awareness and competition will intensify, rewarding those who act now with outsized gains from math-backed tokenomics.

Closing Remarks

Hyperliquid token surges with HIP-4’s outcome trading and $42 billion volume momentum, while XRP price USD tests $1.55 support amid $1.19 billion ETF assets and regulatory gains. These developments reflect contrasting market dynamics, from Hyperliquid’s builder-friendly expansion to XRP’s critical hold against deeper declines to $1.30.

Zero Knowledge Proof stands apart, blending AI privacy via zero-knowledge tech with a 17-stage presale shrinking from 200 million to 40 million daily tokens. Already raising $1.77 million toward $1.7 billion, its daily burns and self-funded $100 million backing fuel 600x projections, marking it as the top crypto to buy before scarcity kicks in and the window closes forever.

Born Again’ Season 3 Way Before Season 2

The post Born Again’ Season 3 Way Before Season 2 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Daredevil Born Again Marvel MCU fans were thrilled that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil was being brought back to life after his unceremonious execution after his show’s Netflix run, where everything was transitioning to Disney Plus. Born Again felt like a moment that would never come, and when it did, it mostly satisfied fans, with few exceptions. Now, according to a new IGN interview with head of TV Brad Winderbaum, Marvel has greenlit Daredevil: Born Again for season 3, well before season 2 airs in March 2026. Originally, the plan was an 18-episode run across two seasons, but Marvel seems to have much larger plans for Matt Murdoch and his series. This is a combination of two things. First, the positive fan reception to season 1. While there were some hiccups here, where the middle of the season had parts of the previously canned version of the show they had to work around, the first and last few episodes were incredible, and that’s the team making all of season 2 and presumably season 3 going forward. So, that’s great news. Second, this is a move by Marvel to reduce the cost of its endless supply of Disney Plus shows by focusing on more “street level” content. MCU series have been all over the place in terms of their focus and their budgets, culminating in the ridiculous $212 million budget for six episodes of the VFX-heavy Secret Invasion, one of the worst things Marvel has ever produced. Now? The name of the game is lower costs. Agatha All Along was a prime example of this, one of the MCU’s cheapest projects ever but one of its best shows. Disney is investing deeper into the “Daredevil-verse” here, as season 2 of Born Again features Jessica Jones, who might be destined to return for her…

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…
